I have been married for 18 months, and with my husband for 7 years.
8 weeks ago, he came home from work like any other day and says "I need to talk to you about something and its going to hurt".
Immediately my heart drooped and I felt sick! He said I've been talking to my 1st girlfriend (from 30 years ago when they were teenagers) and there's a spiritual connection and its real. She's my twin flame, I need to go and see her! Mind you she lives in another state, and of course my reaction was WTF we're married, have you lost your mind?
I basically told him to leave the house and he did drive 8 hours to see her that weekend. Early the next week he comes home after work like everything is normal, so thinking he's going to stay in the house with me, and tells me he's moving in with her in the New Year!
I said you need to get all of your stuff out by the end of the week. Which he did and we havent had ANY contact since. That was 8 weeks ago.
He said I can keep the house, he thinks its as easy as signing a piece of paper and told me I didn't need a lawyer. Turns out it is not that easy, I have to get the mortgage refinanced into my name, thats a whole other kettle of fish.
I am a mess, crying all day, everyday, I don't understand how this happened.
Is it just me or is this absolutely absurd? He's living in a fantasy!
There were no signs or red flags, he was literally telling our mutual friends 2 weeks prior how much he loves and adores me.
This has broken me.
Has anyone had a similar thing happen, can anyone shed some light? Am I crazy?

I am so sorry Firefly. What a shock and betrayal. Make sure you have lots of support from friends and family and take some time off work to look after yourself and grieve the relationship.
It could also be helpful to see a GP for any medication you need to get you through this time eg for sleep; and you could ask about a mental health plan if you need psychological support.
As hard as it is, it may be useful to consult a family lawyer to work out where you stand and what your best options are.
It will take time but it won’t always be this hard.
